A softbox is a light modifier that can be used with a speedlight or strobe. A softbox diffuses light into a softer, more pleasing quality of light. When used correctly, it can emulate window light. A softbox is also designed to reduce hard and edgy shadows. Additionally, a softbox creates a directional quality of light -- giving you better control of your light with minimal light spillage.

Grid vs No Grid?

Some softboxes include a detachable grid. A grid, also referred to as a honeycomb attachment, is used to dramatically minimize any light spillage created by the softbox and to reduce the effective spread of light. So, if you want to create a smaller beam of light, or to keep the light off your background & foreground, then a grid will definitely come in handy. Grids also create stronger and bolder shadows on your subject -- resulting in a more dramatic quality of light. Please note that this particular softbox does not include the grid.
